ICO The complainant requested information relating to the Gender Recognition Panel (GRP) including the list of names of the people who sit, or have sat, on that Panel. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) confirmed it holds some of the requested information but refused to provide it citing sections 32(1)(c) (court records) and 40(2) (personal information) of the FOIA. The Commissioner has investigated the MoJ’s application of section 40(2). His decision is that the MoJ correctly applied section 40(2) to the majority of the information withheld by virtue of that exemption. However, a small part of the withheld information is not exempt under section 40(2). The Commissioner requires the MoJ disclose a small part of the withheld information that is set out in the Confidential Annex to this Notice.
